Is it possible to do so, my skis are pretty stiff and I want it to be easier to do butters and stuff.

Take the top sheet off, start removing fiberglass or carbon until the ski is soft enough.

Cutting slits 1/16" deep perpendicular to the length of the ski will help also.

Exchange them for money and then use that money for a different pair. Or make yourself stronger.

A friend of mine wanted to do the same thing. He made a press witt some planks and wood blocks. Then put some heavy weights on them and tied them to the bottom plate so that they kindof flex. If you leave it over night hou will probably notice some difference.

Buy softer skis.
Place between two blocks and snap them?
